I'm going to have to go with this. Even people who don't know anime, know of Sailor Moon, the character, and even her infamous transformations. She, and her series are just that iconic.

holy crap aside from goku turning super saiyan for the first time i will totally agree with this. i was thinking about all the hype sailor moon was getting and today i was trying to remember scenes i saw as a kid and this was the first one that came to mind
